Alright, I know that the whole 'Kagome getting pregnant at fifteen or however the hell old I decided she was' fiasco, but to the reviewer 2250093678, I swear I said that Kagome was twenty. In fact, I kinda said it twice.

Here's the first one: 'I added it up, and I came up with the fact that Kagome is now twenty years old.' (direct quote from the beginning of chapter two)

The second one: 'Now I imagine she's about twenty, considering I'm three years older than her.' (quote from Inuyasha's Point of View) we good?

So just to review, Kagome get's pregnant at fifteen, and do the math (20-5), then you have her at twenty years old, Inuyasha at twenty-three, and the twins about four of five (give or take, cause of the pregnancy time.) I think I cleared it up. Please don't make me do it again, I just confused myself at two-nineteen in the morning! (on the day that I wrote this thing...I'm soo behind. 5/26/16)

Nevermind that, onto the chapter, shall we?

Chapter Three: Playing Games

Miroku walked into the room behind the twins...Only his head was hung low in embarrassment and he was wearing a pink frilly tutu. Inuyasha was struggling to keep his laughter under control, " What happened to you?" If possible, Miroku's head lowered even further.

" I lost a game of Go Fish to the twins." Anime tears poured from his eyes when he looked up. He darted to a kneeling position in front of Kagome and cried, " Avenge me, Mama!" to which the latter sighed in exasperation.

" Miroku you should have learned a year ago not to challenge the twins to Go Fish, their the reigning champions so far. And their conditions on bets are kind of embarrassing, hence your current predicament." Kagome and Sango said at the same time. Inuyasha was still laughing.

" Zip it, you." Came Kagome's reply and he quickly shut his mouth, then growled at Miroku when he burst out laughing at his friends' expense. Inuyasha decided he wanted to kill Miroku. Then dump the body weighed down with cinderblocks and relocate himself to the south of France. Hopefully with Kagome. And Muteki and Isamu.

Hey, why couldn't he take Kagome and the twins to a kiddy amusement park or something for the day? Not a bad idea. Now to run it by the mom. Please Kami let her agree...

She agreed. And now they're in the car on the way to some random kiddy amusement park that Sango had suggested. " Last one to the dwagon-costaw is a wotten egg!" Muteki challenged Isamu as soon as we were out of the car and got admission to the park, and the boys raced for the aforementioned amusement ride for children.

" No running!" Kagome called after them.

Inuyasha's POV

These boys are so energetic. I think I remember mom saying Fluffy and I were kinda the same. Although I was much more energetic than my older half-brother. Muteki and Isamu ran to pretty much every thing in the kiddy park, Kagome jogging after them reminding them not to run, and me following because I just wanted to be near her. It hurt when I couldn't see her, didn't know where she was. At times, the pain was so bad, my chest felt like it couldn't expand. My heart wouldn't beat it felt like, and I would just stay in bed. I had lost some weight and my hair had lost its shine, but everything was starting to get better now that I was close to my mate and pups.

Dad and Sesshomaru tried to understand the pain I was going through, but their mates had never been far from them so they couldn't relate. Rin and my mother were worried about me. I mentally shook my head. No. No more bad thoughts. I finally found her, and I am dead set on earning her trust again.

Sango and Miroku were somewhere else with their three kids-whom I got to know as Seila, Seena and Kazuki. " Nu-nu! Can we get icy cream?" Isamu asked, having dubbed me as 'Nu-nu' after many upon many failed attempts to say my name. " That's all up to your mommy. Why don't you ask her? I can pay for it if she says yes."

Kagome's POV

Ugh. Boys. Sometimes I wish I had given birth to girls. At least they don't cause as much trouble. I laid down on the couch-well sat on the edge, with boys there is no such thing as relaxing. " Mommy!" I heard my boys call. I knew it. These boys will be the death of me, I swear...

" I'm coming!" I called in response then got up. My boys were covered in-that better not be mud... " Please tell me you boys didn't go play in the rain puddles outside of Mrs. Ming's yard.." the twins nodded in unison. " Time for a bath you two." they liked water, and so they ran for the bathroom. I guess I know what I'll be doing when they're done...

And so I entertained my boys during their bath, then let them sit in front of the TV and watch their favorite show while I cleaned up the mess of mud on the floor. When I just finished mopping the floors of wet dirt, the doorbell rang. " I got it!" Muteki and Isamu called at the same time before I stopped them. " You nevew let us answew the doow."

" Go back and watch TV." with a pout the twins did so, and I opened the door after looking in the peephole. " What?" I asked. " Can't I see you without an explanation?" I glared and let him in anyway. " You're lucky that Muteki and Isamu are right in the next room." If they weren't he'd be getting it.

" Muteki, Isamu, I think Auntie Sango is going to come pick you up for a sleepover with Seila, Seena, and Kazuki." the two cheered and ran around in circles. I then went to their room to pack some clothes for them. Yet Inuyasha followed me.

I pointedly ignored him and finished my task, and fifteen minutes later, Sango came to pick up Isamu and Muteki. " Be good for Auntie Sango okay boys?" they nodded and let Sango buckle them in the car seats she had before she pulled away from the complex we lived in. " Now then. Why don't you tell me why you have two pups and why you never told me, let alone flat out leaving the country?" Kagome in defeat and sat down on her small couch.

" About a week after we'd had sex, I had found out I was pregnant. I was waiting til I could muster up enough courage to tell you, but then graduation happened, and then Candy Jar...Once I found out you'd slept with her, I bought a plane ticket and headed straight out of Japan. I had originally landed in Hong Kong but later had taken a train to Beijing. I work nights while Sango watches the boys, and I take college courses during the day while Muteki and Isamu are at daycare. I think my boss Shippo goes easy on me in terms of working hours and everything, since he learned that I was a single mother of two." I pointedly ignored Inuyasha as I spoke, not wanting to bring up any old memories by looking at his face.

" You and I had got along well, even started a relationship. I gave my virginity to you, and...you sleep with my cousin! I can't trust you any more, because you betrayed me." he grabbed my shoulders then and spun me around, though his grip was gentle. " Now you listen. You got to tall your story, now it's my turn. Everything up until that night at Candy Jar was true. Yeah, I loved you, I still do. I wouldn't sleep with your cousin, you've seen how many times I turned her down in high school! I'm telling you, she drugged me, and I slept with her. I would've told you that she tried something, but then you just up and left! I didn't know where you were, or that you'd even left the country! You never told me anything, and Miroku and Sango were no damn help. I meant what I said. I'll fight to make you trust and love me again."

At some point, I had raised my eyes to gaze in his, before I was aware of my hands trembling. " You have one month to prove to me that both everything you've said is true, and that I can learn to love you again." after that I stood, and gestured to the door. When he left-reluctantly mind you-I closed the door and ran to my room, sliding down against the wall. I was so confused. Was this a trick, or had he really not intended to cheat? I know Kikyo's done some pretty messed up things, but this...

" Papa, what am I supposed to do?" I pleaded. I wish my father or even my mother was there. Anyone to help make sense of this.

I AM SO SO SO SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR TAKING SO LONG! And I apologize for this chapter being so damn short, I just can't think of much. I have Royal Love, Rising from Ashes, Kagome's Sister, Fire and Ice, and more to update, I just can't get my head right!

My scheduling sucks more than a Dyson vacuum...I already have part of the next chapters of Royal Love, and Kagome's Sister thought out, as well as Rising from Ashes. I am working on the next two chapters of Tot Trouble, and that should be fun.

Meanwhile, while I am working on those, my other stories-aside from maybe Lost in the Beginning and A Switched Time-Table-will be put onto hiatus until the primary stories have been finished.

I have also been editing some of my works. High School Stars will be posted again whenever I get the time to actually edit it, or be able to stomach all the mistakes I made. *holds hand over mouth* Oh god...

What Just Happened will be copied, and edited. I hate the way it looks, and as many have seen, I adopted a new style of tense writing. No more present, it's all past tense! It's easier this way.

Fourth of July is tomorrow, I will be having an easy one. Parade, then just hang out with the family. Let's hope someone doesn't start a fight.

Happy early Fourth of July present! Again, sorry for the short chapter and long wait! -.-'

-Always,
